Causal Inference for Complex Longitudinal Data: the continuous case
We extend Robins’ theory of causal inference for complex longitudinal data to the case of continuously varying as opposed to discrete covariates and treatments. In particular we establish versions of the key results of the discrete theory: the g-computation formula and a collection of powerful characterizations of the g-null hypothesis of no treatment effect. This is accomplished under natural ...

متن کاملCausal Inference for Complex Longitudinal Data: The Continuous Time g-Computation Formula
I write out and discuss how one might try to prove the continuous time g-computation formula, in the simplest possible case: treatments (labelled a, for actions) and covariates (l: longitudinal data) form together a bivariate counting process.
متن کاملThe Greedy Fast Causal Inference (GFCI) Algorithm for Continuous Variables
GFCIc [Ogarrio, 2016] is an algorithm that takes as input a dataset of continuous variables and outputs a graphical model called a PAG (see the appendix), which is a representation of a set of causal networks that may include hidden confounders. The PAG that GFCIc returns serves as a data-supported hypothesis about causal relationships that exist among the variables in the dataset. Such models ...
متن کاملCausal Induction 1 Running head : Continuous Causal Inference Causal Induction from Continuous Event Streams
Three experiments investigated the impact of delay on human causal learning. We present a new paradigm based on the presentation of continuous event streams, and use it to test two hypotheses drawn from associative learning theories of causal inference. Unlike free-operant procedures traditionally used to study temporal aspects of causal learning (Shanks, Pearson, & Dickinson, 1989; Shanks & Di...
